JectaJecta has the effectiveness of Bora-Care in a gel form for sealed or hard-to-reach wood. Jecta is a ready-to-use injectable borate gel used by pest management professionals to protect sealed or inaccessible wood from termites and other wood destroying organisms. It is typically used to reach places where Bora-Care cannot be applied effectively. Jecta's patented carrier system facilitates rapid penetration throughout wood of any moisture content. Jecta comes in 14-oz. (300 cc) tubes that are loaded into a common caulking gun style applicator, making application convenient and easy. For those who are concerned about using "green" products, Jecta is formulated with a concern for the environment and has low mammalian toxicity - less than half that of table salt, yet because of how it works, it's still deadly to decay fungi and insect pests. Jecta is a termiticide, insecticide and fungicide that kills and controls:Drywood termitesSubterranean termitesFormosan termitesWood destroying beetlesCarpenter antsDecay fungi How Does Jecta Work? The active ingredient in Jecta is the same as that in the liquid concentrate form of Bora-Care: a borate salt. Borate salts work by taking advantage of a unique feature in the biology of termites, ants and other insects. If ingested by ants, beetles or termites, the insect becomes unable to extract nutrition from its food and starves to death. And because of this unique mode of action, insects cannot develop a resistance, ever. Jecta offers the same advantages that Bora-Care delivers and works differently than most other insecticides, termiticides and even other borate products on the market today. It is applied directly to wood rather than to the soil, but unlike Bora-Care, it is injected as opposed to sprayed, misted or foamed onto building materials. Jecta comes in a patented gel form allowing it to be applied to places that a Bora-Care liquid application cannot reach,
